Varun Badola's 'Aek Chabi' locked!

If rumors are to be believed, then the latest ones doing the buzz in the television industry are that Varun Badola’s show on Star Plus, Aek Chabi Hai Pados Mein is being bumped off the channel temporarily to make way for another show. Telly Buzz caught up with the actor to know more.

Aek Chabi was a show completely different from all the usual run of the mill saas bahu sagas, but still received due appreciation from the audience. So then, why does the channel always play truant with the show by pushing it off just to accommodate other shows? When asked this to Varun, the actor was as clueless as us replying, “What!!!, the show is going off air for two weeks??? Are you sure? I hope it’s not going off air altogether.” Varun is very sentimental when it comes to Aek Chabi, which is quite evident from his response as he says, “The show is very close to my heart. We have always done what the channel has asked us to when it comes to the show. Although the show has not received the required publicity and the timings are also very awry, it is still liked by the public and was doing really well.”

But yet, he seemed very indifferent about the future of the show as he says, “To be very frank, I am not really bothered about what is going to happen in the future. In the end, it’s the channel’s decision. Our job is to make a good show and I think we have done that. Now whether the show needs to remain on air or not is entirely up to the channel. I personally feel if the show goes off air it’s their loss.”

Varun is currently busy with a lot of other projects which might also include the upcoming reality show Gharwali Baharwali and seems unperturbed about this whole episode. But we sure hope the actor continues to deliver refreshing shows for his audience.
